Working with Retail Brands (WRBD)

Purpose: Use this menu option to create, change, delete, or display retail brand (retail division) information used by the integration with CWCollaborate or with Locate’s Drop Ship Manager module for internet-based drop ship processing.

Retail brands and descriptions associated with the source code on an order header are passed to CWCollaborate or Locate’s Supplier Direct Fulfillment module each time purchase orders are sent. Retail brands appear on CWCollaborate screens as Retail divisions, and on Locate screens as Brands.

Use in CWCollaborate: In CWCollaborate, you can use retail divisions to:

• Restrict the display of information to the selected division.

• Specify a logo, packing slip messages, and a stationery type for a retail division’s packing slips and a logo for RA forms.

• Specify separate email addresses for each retail division, which CWCollaborate will use when sending status update, Return notification (error) and contact email.

• Set parameters for the display of Overview screens for each retail division in CWCollaborate.

Use in Locate’s Supplier Direct Fulfillment module: In Locate, you can use retail divisions to:

• Restrict the display of information to the selected brand.

• Specify a logo, packing slip messages, pack slip form, and pull sheet form.

• Enable the vendor to restrict pack slip generation to a single brand.

Required setup for CWCollaborate or Locate’s Supplier Direct Fulfillment module: In order to use CWCollaborate or Locate’s Supplier Direct Fulfillment module, you must set up one or more retail brands and associate each retail brand with at least one entity in CWSerenade; however, several entities (in one or more companies) could share the same retail brand. The source code on the drop ship order must point to a division associated with one of the entities for which you have defined a retail brand.

Note: A retail brand is not necessarily associated with a single company; one company can have several retail brands, or several companies could share the same retail brand; however the Retailer ID is specific to a company, and is necessary to identifying most files used by CWCollaborate. Retailer ID is defined for each company in CWCollaborate, and entered in the Retailer ID field on the Drop Ship Values Screen (H20) in CWSerenade; however, the Retailer ID is not necessary for integration with Locate’s Supplier Direct Fulfillment module.
